THE treasurer of the Grant monu.
ment fund in New York states that
he is constantly receiving letters from
all quarters making inquiries about
the proposed monument, many of
them containing designs calling for
the expenditure of sums varying from
S125. 900 to 100000. In view of the
fact that the fund now amounts to less
than Sl24,sO0, and has grown only
about 1000 or $S.0nO in the last six
months, the artists who think that
there will be $500, 900 to spend are sad
ly deceived. They must have truly
pathetic faith in the generosity of the
American people and in the good faith
of the New York millionaires who
promised that S1,oOO,OOe should be
raised for mighty monument to the
greatest soldier of the Republic

THE Cincinnati Times Star (Repub-
lican) in speaking of the Presidents
veto of the pauper pension bill, says !:
President Cleveland has vetoed the
pauper pension bill. This will be a
bitter disappointment to many, aud
will subject the President to severe
criticism in certain quarters, but on
fuller consideration his act will be an.
proved by thoughtful men of all par
ties. There is no question but that
the Government should pay, and pay
liberally, all who rendered it service
in time of need, and should also rec.
Ompense them for disabilities incurred
in such service, but the bill in question
did not propose to do either. It simply
transferred part of the burthen of
pauperism from the local authorities
to the General Government. To call
this a " soldiers pension " is an abuse
of terms. Always and in all couDtries
soldiers pension has been regarded
as compensation for services render
ed or for disability incurred in service,
and not as charity dependent on in.
digence for which the Government is
not responsible. The ex soldier who
labors under no disability yet becomes
dependent through misfortune, i'm
providence or other causes, can not
complain of unfairness if he has to
take his chances with his fellow citi-
zens who reach the same destination
by the same roads. The pauper PEN
SIGN bill is wrong in principle, and
would have led to endless abuses in
practice. 1t was not demanded by
the soldiers who did the fighting, and
who do not ask penny in charity
from the Government. In plain En-.
glish, it was "a levy on the rifle pits
for the benefit of the ambulance brig
ade," aud any veteran knows what
that means. 1t would have increased
taxation by about $70,O00,000 year,
but this was secondary consideration
not sufficient to condemn the bill had
it been just. Pension laws need amend
ing, but this would have been q dan.

his (the husband's) injunctions and wishes
she (tne wife) insisted and did purchase the
watch and refused to give it up, though the
husband told her there never could be peace
in the family until it should be destroyed.
The watch proved a regular Pandora's box
and the direful spring of woes unnumbered,
mainly imaginary and unnecessary. The
husband also seemed to have objected that
his wife's mode of dress was not becoming
his station in life as mechanic, and certain
ly used some ugly terms in characterizing her
fondness for ribbons, Jewelry, bustlss and
other mysteries of female attire which are
SO dear to the sex and doubtless add, in the
mind of most men, to its attractions. 1t
does not appear that, considering his station
in life, that his request in this respect was
not reasonable, bat it does appear that she
did not conform to his wishes or in any man
ner attempt to conciliate him. Without
hearing the other side, her statement shows
that the quarrel was one of two self-willed
persons, with the fault about evenly divided.
The parties had lived together in compare
tive bliss, and there is no reason on either
side why they should not have continued to
do SO. Married people must recognize that
they have entered into the most solemn
and sacred engagements known to the law;
X and will not be dissolved by the
law because the parties are incompatible or
live unhappily. IF iniquities be charged
they must be such as to render the condi-
ton of the party complaining intolerable,
and it must be clearly proven that ne or
she is in no wise in FAULT
The Judge then adds that the conduct of
the husband has been petty and il1iberal,
but if the wife had thought more of her
happiness than her fancied rights the parties
might have been living together yet. He
then finds that the wife is not entitled to
divorce. Aside from this it has been shown
that the parties had agreed to separate-the
wife to take the girl and the husband the
boy, and that she was to get divorce. The
court would not sit for the purpose of effect
ing such an agreement It was expressly
forbidden by law.

THE ANDOyER TROURLE


The latest development in the Andoyer
surdity-of the decision by the board of visit
ors against Professor Egbert C. Smyth while
his four 'heretica" companions were allowed
to escape is apparent. What the ultimate
effect of the decision will be remains to be
seen. At present it seems to be generally
regarded as not at all injurious to Professor
Smyth, who is looked upon a martyr by
all the SO called progressive part of the Com
gregational body. And, moreover, it does
not seem probable that the board of visitors
will succeed in getting him out of his chair
unless he wants to go.
What has long been privately talked is now
publicly said. Thus the Boston Herald says
of DR.. Eustis' attitude: 1t partly reveals what
has cropped out in other ways that behind
it there has been a persistent and poorly con-
cealed antagonism against Professor Smyth
on the part of one who has used DR.. Well
man and others as his catspaws in all these
proceedings. In short, the promotion of this
trial has come from Andover Hill, and its
conclusion was plainly foreordained from
the beginning. The point has seemed to be
not to vindicate the seminary from heresy,
but to find grounds for wreaking personal
vengeance upon the condemned professor by
party who is well known to have kept his
hatred in vigorous condition through we'll
nigh quarter of century. 1t is the out
come of personal issue between man and
man. Dr. Smyth has been the victim of an
unrighteous antagonism nearly ever since he
has held an Andover professorship, and his
antagonist has left no stone unturned to
break him down. The turning of the con-
demnation against him, to the exclusion of
his associates, is show of the venom which
has long existed, and has once and again
been displayed behind the scenes.
One thing is plain in the general confusion,
and that is that the whole affair has not been
a good thing for Andoyer seminary and the
Congregational denomination.

An Able Judge on Domestic Infelfcfty.
lTrom the -Democrat.l


Judge Seddon yesterday disposed OF the
divorce case of Eva Glow against Herman
Glow by dismissing the proceedings in very
interesting dissertation on domestic infelici-
ty and feminine matter generally. The par
ties to the suit were married about ten years
ago, and to all outward appearances lived to-
gether harmoniously until a couple of years
ago, when the wife's father gave her seventy
Eve dollars with which to purchase watch
for herself. The husband, who was a me-
chanic, objected to any such disposition of
the fund-he was plain man of the world
and opposed to display, especially on the
part of his wife, and probably had yearn-
ing for the fund himself The father died
after the gift to his daughter and she pur-
chased the watch as keepsake. The re-
mainder of the story is thus told by the
| judge:

ROSE SCENT JARS.
Some Suggestions as to the Manner of
Preuaring Them


Preparing Them.
lis pity, says a writer in the Kansas
City Journal, that so few housekeepers COM
paratively know the never ending satisfac-
ton to be derived from the possession of a
rose scent jar, yet at the cost of little
pains-taking they are within the reach of the
majority.
Nothing gives more subtle, delightful per-
fume to an apartment than one of these jars,
which should be opened every morning after
the necessary cleaning and dustlng is fin
ished for an hour and then carefully closed
All your friends will ask: ''What gives
your rooms so delightful fragrance?" It is
such pure yet delicate odor that it charms
everyone.
The preparation of the rose stock should
be detailed to the care taking member of the
family who never forgets anything.
Gather the rose petals in the morning, let
them stand in cool place, tossed up lightly
for one hour to dry off, then put them In
layers with salt sprinkled over each layer
into large covered dish-a glass berry dish
is convenient receptacle. You can add to
this for several mornings till you have
enough stock-from one pint to quart, ac-
cording to the size of the jar-stir every
morning aud let the whole stand for ten
days. Then transfer it to glass fruit jar,
PA@SoN<
ounces of alispice coarsely ground and as
much stick cinnamon broken coarsely. This
NAV stand now for six weeks closely COW
cred, when it is ready for the permanent
jar, which may be as pretty as your ingenui-
ty can devise or your means purchass. Those
with double covers are the best and very
pretty ones in the blue and white Japanese
ware. I believe the dealers call it kaaga,
holding over quart, can be bought fer sew
enty five cents.
Have ready one ounce each of cloves, all
spice, cinnamon and mace, all ground, not
fine, one ounce of orris root bruised and
shredded, two ounces of lavender flowers
and small quantity of any other sweet
scented dried flowers or herbs; mix together
and put into the jar in alternate layers with
the rose stock, add few drops of oil of rose
geranium or violet, and d pour pour. over 9 the whole
This will last for years, though from time
to time you may add a little lavender or or
ange flower water, or any nice perfume, and
some seasons few fresh rose petals. You
will derive satisfaction from the labor only

A BUYING TIME,

The forced sale made necessary by our
consolidation with Chamberlain & Currier,
the great clothiers of Boston, to take place on
July 1, may be recorded as great success
| in the clothing trade. It met a popular
| demand, and met satisfactorily. To buyers
| throughout the State it has recommended
| itself, and they have come as tkey never
came before to take advantage of its oppor-
| tunities. And they are many for all classes
of buyers, for men, young men and boys.
No clothing house has ever offered suits of
equal value at the price. Our object is not
| money, but room-room for the stock that
will come to US by the consolidation. Prices
| are mutilated and reduced to fractions
halves and smaller denominations. Bona
| fidel No juggling, and marking up to
mark down. Goods must go, if possible,
before July 1. A jolly buying time! Suits
of all grades, patterns and styles.
